Quoting Alfred M. Szmidt:
: autoconf/automake gets rerun automatically if the timestamps for
: configure/Makefile.in is newer than for configure.ac/Makefile.am and
: other such files. It often occurs if you are getting something from
: CVS.
I applaud the intent. I cry in front of the harmful situations it raises
due to no respect for backward compatibility.
At least metaconfig / jmake are smarter: they don't regenerate blindly
unless they identify they're being run by the developper.
